It looks like you want to be able to do a 'sub' search type (-s sub 
command line option with openldap tools). I'm not sure what the default 
search type is for Samba these days, but when LDAP was originally 
working (12-18 months ago?), the default was sub. Have you tried to 
split your LDAP tree as you have described? Does it not work?

I've just had a quick look and it does look like the LDAP search scope 
is LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE, which is what you're after.

Hope it helps,
